Auditions

Through local, regional and national auditions, Crane River Theater has cast professional artists from across the country, representing thirty-four states, to live and work for months at a time here in Central Nebraska. Based on the success of the last thirteen seasons, our directors will once again recruit actors and designers at regional and national auditions for the 2023 season. Crane River Theater will attend virtual auditions at the American College Theater Festival in Des Moines, Iowa from Jan. 22-28, United Professional Theater Auditions in Memphis, Tennessee from Feb. 3-6, and the Southeastern Theatre Conference in Lexington, Kentucky from March 1-5. More than 3,000 regional professionals will be exposed to the idea of Central Nebraska as an area arts center.


2023 SEASON CASTING
Crane River Theater welcomes actors, directors, and technicians to audition for our upcoming 2023 season. Please visit one of the links below for more information about how to register or submit a virtual audition.

If you are unable to submit your material for one of the audition sites, Crane River Theater is happy to accept video submissions directly. Please send a musical selection(s), and/or a monologue, along with your resume and headshot to info@cranerivertheater.org.

Many contracted company members will carry multiple responsibilities. Some will be actors in multiple shows and others will be an actor in one show and participate in one of the following: Scene and Costume Construction, House Management, Publicity, or teaching Arts Education classes for youth.

Crane River Theater values the health and safety of our artists, patrons, and volunteers, and will have necessary safety measures in place at all rehearsals, performances, and events.
